It certainly matters if you’re going for the best time, but for getting all golds I think everything works.We’ve only done 5 so far and our composition is probably one of the worst you can get.My only problem with them as a whole is how unfair a lot of the instances are to melee as opposed to range heavy composition. A lot of the unfairness can be prevented, but a flame strike in SM going off in a range heavy group is completely different beast than one going off in a melee oriented group.Videos are helpful to a lot of people just starting out to give a basic idea. The biggest thing that transfers over to most groups is a basic understanding of mechanics, little tricks with patrols and of course where to skip mobs with stealth/invisibility pots. For anybody just trying out challenge modes you will still need to test things for yourself to see what your limits are, unless you’re running the exact same composition.

I think the way various prestige, vanity, fun, diverse, and power-increasing progression systems are designed shows such a commitment to the creation of gameplay with broad appeal, while preserving the philosophy that prestige can be earned through a combination of effort and exceptional performance.Yeah.D3 thoroughly alienated me, and I’m currently mainly playing another MMO which has been giving me a degree of enjoyment I’d lost in WoW (The Secret World – different, challenging & a great story).However every time I look at what Bliz dev’s are doing with MMOs I’m blown away by just how much better they are at making their game an all-encompassing multi-faceted virtual world. There are elements which I find offputting personally, but with the breadth of activities available in MoP I suspect it’ll probably be the most successful expansion since BC (if not ever).There’s a reason why WoW is the elephant in the MMO room – it’s because no one else has formed a team capable of making a product which ticks all the boxes like WoW does. There are some genuinely excellent niche MMOs (e.g. TSW, Eve, GW2), but the sheer consumate professionalism & broad-ranging appeal of the WoW team’s approach totally outclasses all the current competition.Bioware proved a good games studio & a good mmo development studio are two very different beasts, and that money size can’t buy results. As frustrating as I find it it for the future of gaming, Bliz really is the best in the MMO business & the only company in the genre that truly has their act together.Probably a way off full fanboy, but credit where it’s due =)Oh, and I’m seriously looking forward to challenge modes. Easily the best feature in MoP from my perspective. Ranked competitive small-scale PVE ftw.

I had a blast learning new tactics and constantly pushing myself and my healer with “how many more can I pull” We were able to get a couple silvers in our first night in and are pushing to get all gold…transmog gear is just too awesome to pass up.

Fri, 05 Apr 2013 08:12:03 +0000http://fallingleavesandwings.wordpress.com/?p=2838#comment-8678I have always wanted to do challenge modes. Unfortunately the real challenge for me is in finding 4 other people of appropriate roles that want to do them with me. Nobody wanted a holy priest, you had to be disc, something I have long resisted (thank god for the most recent changes). And then of course you have to have *time*, which I don’t.

Fri, 05 Apr 2013 03:47:40 +0000http://fallingleavesandwings.wordpress.com/?p=2838#comment-8677I have absolutely no interest in challenge modes. Timed 5 man events in 463 gear sounds like a nightmare. I worked hard for my current gear level. Going backwards is not fun. Just my opinion.

It pushes you to the limits especially as a healer. It’s so easy to level up and be mediocre at a class these days. I’m sure there are so many hunters out there that don’t even know what kiting is!
